Catalytic Hydrodehalogenation of Haloarenes with Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Containing Compounds: A Review.

New catalytic methods for the hydrodehalogenation of haloarenes with hydrogen and hydrogen-containing reagents (metal and non-metal hydrids, organic hydrogen-containing compounds, etc.), which are essential for fine organic synthesis and neutralization of toxic production waste and persistent organic pollutants. The paper focuses on such catalysts as complexes of stable heterocyclic carbenes, transition metals, and nanosized metal particles and their composites, as the most promising for industrial chemistry. Catalysts with particularly high efficiency have been highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
